The restoration of the car is in progress,for the moment i work on the body

That would be great if you can post pictures of the before and after as you restore this car. I noticed the hole on the drivers side windshield post. I had the same hole where a spot light was. Mine was repaired on the outside and done well but left open on the inside. Looking thru the hole I can see a U.S. penny was used to weld up the hole. Sadly I can't see any date. Sure would be great if it was a 1909 SVDB penny.... <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->

This 812 is currently in fully restoration, if you want I can make a subject step by step about the restoration.

Hopefully you can see a number on the passenger side stub frame just behind the shock mount. Like I posted, its very lightly stamped in the metal. The numbers are about 3/4 inch tall in size.

Then below that plate is a smaller one called the Central Manufacturing Plate. That plate tels you when its made. There is one other place the car serial number can be found. On the lower passenger side of the stub frame near the shock mounts the number you posted here will be found. Its usually stamped in the sttel very lightly and very hard to see. Use a flash light to make the numbers light up. Its stamped so lightly some have removed it by sanding off the paint so be careful when attempting to bring it up to surface. Contacting Ron Irwin may give more information on this car too. He it the Cord Historian. When I registered my car with him many years ago he asked for the serial numbers and then told me about my car. I was shocked he knew of all the spare parts I had because this car had not been driven since 1949 and was garaged out of site since then.

Yes,I know but i have not the originals plates,so i dont know the number of the body,it's a C 105 but serial number???

Yes on the 1976 Minnessota title the owner is Nichols William R,I did not know it had been purchased in 2010 by J.Arnesson, maybe have there any other information about this car.

It would appear that yours was the next Custom Beverly built after mine. It would be a late 1937 car for sure.

Yes it's the late 812 Cord,have you a picture of your car?

I know nothing about the history of my Cord, this is a 812 Custom Beverly serial number 310253S.
Is it possible to know the date of manufacture, its original owner, body number, original engine number and all information on his history.

Thanks.
